Hobbs Story Hobbes, the cat, has been under experimentation for most of his life. This is probably the last time that he will ever have to be experimented on again. Why? Because he is probably not going to make it through this time, the makers of Herbal Essences are about to force shampoo down his throat to see what happens to ‘it’s’ organs.

Fur coats are cool, for an animal to wear • Passive Abuse is not taking any form of action, for example allowing a dog to starve or failing to alleviate pain to an injured or ill animal Active cruelty requires committing an act which inflicts pain such as cutting off a limb, stabbing, choking or punching • Many people don’t realize that what they are doing is bad but some do it to : -control an animal -express anger -shock people for amusement • Some unlucky animals just get off to a bad start at Puppy Mills. The ‘prisoners of greed’ are constantly bread as unhealthy and genetically defective solely for profit. It is estimated that 500,000 dogs are born in puppy mills each year
